The wastefulness is akin to having multiple private jets on standby, or workers coming in to a fishbowl office to be gawked at, or massive datacenters to be use

The wastefulness is akin to having multiple private jets on standby, or workers coming in to a fishbowl office to be gawked at, or massive datacenters to be used as social "proof".
Its all a fucking capitalistic farce to display to other rich elite that "Look at how much clout I have! I can make these peons dance around and do my bidding! Im a slave-owner!"

- nekusar 2mo agoTrue. But check out Ebay right now. Networking gear is CHEAP. I just bought 2 switches, 48 port 10GbE with 4x QSFP+ at 40Gb fiber. $110 each. You can even get 24 port QSFP+ @100Gb networking devices for $350. Yeah while ram and gfx is $$$$$, networking is rock bottom prices..
